Northwest Oregon Labor
Retirees Council disbands
The Northwest Oregon Labor Re-
tirees Council has disbanded.
Low turnout and an abundance of
other active union retiree groups, in-
cluding the Oregon Alliance for Retired
Americans, led to the decision to dis-
solve, said interim secretary-treasurer
Ambrose Bittner.
The group was formed in 1997 and
met monthly in Southeast Portland. For
many years it selected retired union
members to its “Labor Hall of Fame.”
They quit doing that in 2008.
Bittner said the group has filed pa-
perwork with the national AFL-CIO to
dissolve. Once approved, the council’s
general fund of approximately $500
will be handed over to the Oregon AFL-
CIO.
Bittner encouraged union retirees to
attend their respective local union re-
tiree clubs, and/or to join the Oregon
Alliance for Retired Americans.
“There was a lot of duplication in
what our group did, and what the other
groups were doing,” Bittner said. “It’s
not like we’re going away. We’ll still be
active.”

The 12th annual Faith and Labor
Breakfast will be held Wednesday, Feb.
19, at 7:15 a.m. at St. Philip Neri, Carlin
Hall, 2408 SE 16th Ave (off Division).
The keynote speaker will be Kim
Bobo, executive director and founder of

author of “Wage Theft in America:
Why Millions of Americans Are Not
Being Paid, And What We Can Do
About It” and co-author of “Organizing
for Social Change.” She was named
one of UTNE Reader’s 50 Visionaries
Who Are Changing Your World in
2009.
The breakfast is sponsored by Port-
land Jobs with Justice, Ecumenical
Ministries of Oregon and Northwest
Oregon Labor Council.
“We will bring together workers to
tell us about their efforts to gain respect
on the job, and faith leaders who will
describe how and why they act on be-
half of workers' dignity. Together we
will explore ways to dignify work and
take action,” said Chris Phillips of Port-
land Jobs with Justice.
Cost is $15, but no one will be
turned away for lack of funds.
